    Has anyone used a STP oil filter on the B7? It says made in Germany on it. I know fram is garbage but what about STP?

    If it says Made in Germany on it, it's probably just a rebadged Mann filter or something (good)

    Fram's oil filter is also, made in Germany. Basically a Mann filter for less money. I have been using the Fram filter for the past 3 to 4 oil changes.
